What God Do You Worship?

You believe. You honor. You burn. What god would ask these things of you? What could make you offer?

If y’all remember the darkearths pantheon I did a while back as an askbox event, I’ve gone and made thirteen of my favorite results into a uquiz! The quiz will take you to meet your god, so I hope you’re ready <3

Dmitri Prigov’s visual poetry

Dmitri Prigov (1940-2007) was a Russian conceptual poet, artist, and dissident. One of the things he is famous for is his стихограммы (стих ‘poem’ + грамма (’gram’, a part of words like phonogram or program, from Greek γράμμα ‘recording’)) 

I don’t understand much about poetry, and probably neither do you, but I mean look at that 

Как я весел! Как я мил! – How cheerful I am! How nice I am! Смерть рядом – Death is near

Ин вино веритас – ‘In vino veritas’ (Latin), In wine there is truth А в пиве что? – And what’s there in beer?

В начале было слово, и слово было у Бога, и слово было Бог (сentral circle) – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God  И свет во тьме светит – And the light shines in the darkness

Если враг не сдается, его уничтожают – If the enemy does not surrender, he must be destroyed Нет – No Враг – Enemy

И восстанут они все из могил своих, и призовут нас всех к ответу – And then they will all rise up from their graves and bring us all to justice

Holy words mixed with mercury stained lies; releasing them was a mercy.

Control rooms, power stations, control panels—Soviet era mostly, and a few more modern ones.

[within--the--maelstrom]

the stars will line up along the sky to sing of velvet dark; how soft they rest beyond the night, words of unknown and unsight blooming ink into the air. they will tell you of den-home safety. they will whisper of quiet. the stars love to speak of darkness-- but your questions, harsh and searing mortal-bright, are never so. cast your bones elsewhere; these stars are not for you.
